In reciprocation, we also conveyed best wishes and greetings of Holi and congratulated CMD BSNL for the milestone achievement of net profit and assured continued support for overall growth of BSNL.
CMD BSNL further added that the very purpose of calling this special meetings is that though efforts are being made by the Management for resolution of different HR Issues, the desired results are not achieved as different stands are taken by leaders of associations and matters are taken to units/ offices other than BSNL including courts, when solutions can be found by discussions. He specifically mentioned that he is not inclined to anybody or any associations and everybody is equal for him and he really wants to celebrate April 2025 as HR Month, wherein concern expressed by the associations will be given consideration. He added that in this process and his initiatives for clearing pending HR issues by giving proper solutions, he finds that if there is difference of opinion among the leaders of recognized Associations, the issues cannot be resolved. He especially appealed the General Secretaries that they should seat together, arrange the combined meetings of prominent leaders of all three associations and come to the certain minimum required understanding on desired solution of the prominent pending issues and mainly on promotions which are being litigated/dragged to other authorities and courts when solution can be derived within BSNL by having common minimum programme with proper understanding among the General Secretaries and specifically appealed that during HR Month, the leaders of the three recognized associations should come forward with common minimum understanding and without any disputes so that maximum issues are resolved and all possible mainly Promotions are issued during this HR Month, April 2025.
It is really a great gesture from Shri. A. Robert J. Ravi, CMD BSNL with initiatives for resolution of pending HR issues and giving relief to Executives in BSNL to possible extent.
In conclusion, we the leaders of recognized associations assured CMD BSNL for having understanding between three recognized Associations and resolve the disputes/issues if any and submit combined proposal/s together for resolution of pending HR Issues and conveyed special thanks for proactive steps and initiatives by CMD BSNL for resolution of pending HR issues of the executives.
